Problem description
The issue lies in the performance of importing STEP files. I tested it in SolidWorks, and the attached file is imported in 1 minute, with a dialog window accompanying the process.
In FreeCAD, it takes 1 hour!! , and the software seems to freeze during the operation.
Additionally, after importing the file, if I save it in FreeCAD format, it takes a very long time to open again when I try to load it.
This is important to resolve as it is a key factor preventing a transition to FreeCAD.
Exemple: Reading Step File from Solidowrks
Import STEP FILE to test: EixoY.zip
